In the age of new disorders and diseases that psychiatrists love to promote as debilitating conditions, I have come up with one of my own. It's in Norman Latin. Like Norman French except this is without the influence of my ancestors. This is all mine, Jesse Norman. Bobbleheadus Deterioratus is the condition that predominantly affects the far left. This is when people of likeminded thinking meet in places like coffee shops, book stores, and such to give their opinions on all sorts of issues. They are always void of actual facts. Afterall, these are supergeniuses who don't need facts. Because they give likeminded opinions, the people who surround them will nod like bobblehead dolls no matter how ridiculous a statement is. Over time that person's mind believes since everything they can come up with is agreed to by likeminded people, then no matter what they can come up with it has to be right. Their frame of reality deteriorates to a Disney World type of delusion. Hence, the name for this disorder is Bobbleheadus Deterioratus.
These people who suffer from such a condition have become the new KKK. Although the old, real members of the KKK suffer from the original disorder named Bobbleheadus Dementius, their warped thinking is none the different. Think about it. They both think the government is after them. They huddle in their own masses. There isn't a lick of sense among any of them. Their thinking is void of facts. They hate the Jews. Heck, they're one in the same. Maybe they should get married. The only things that are different is that the old KKK only talked about blacks, homosexuals, and Jews while the far left talks about Foxnews, Christians, America, Cheney, Bush, and well Jews. Okay, not everything is different.
It's not just people who meet in coffee shops that suffer from this humiliating condition. Celebrities are prime candidates to suffer from Bobbleheadus Deterioratus. How so you may ask? Well celebrities are surrounded by bobblehead dolls who are there to cater to their egos. Agents, assistants, and other celebrity sycophants are being paid by their celebrity client and no celebrity wants to hear that they are wrong about anything. They're celebrities! So no matter what is said, the sycophants must nod in agreement. It would be a bad career move for one that doesn't do their duty and agree.
This is how we hear some of the most ridiculous statements come out of Hollywood. Actor (I guess) James Brolin was doing a radio interview on the anniversary of 9/11 a couple of years ago to promote his movie "The Hunting Party" on WPLR in New Haven, Connecticutt with hosts Chaz and AJ. I don't know who they are but I respect them. Chaz and AJ noted it was the sixth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks and Brolin said mockingly "right, oh yeah. Happy 9/11!" A stunned Chaz replied "well that's kind of a weird thing to say". Brolin laughing said "I hear silence." Chaz said "yeah well we're here right outside of New York, and I know people who lost family members... so we don't say 'happy 9/11' around here." Brolin still chuckling said "celebrate the day, right?" Brolin who's married to fellow left-wing loon Barbara Streisand, tried to cover what he said by saying it was a "horrible situation" but was cut off by Chaz saying "I think you'd be better off talking about the movie." Jeff Wald, Brolin's manager (would you switch jobs with this guy?) later explained "he wasn't making fun of the tragedy. He was horrified by it. It was an off-the-cuff remark." He's not even expecting us to believe this excuse but he has to say it. His career depends at least partly on James Brolin. He is Brolin's "yes" man. Instead of maybe nipping Brolin in the bud many years ago and finding another job or person to represent, he decided that agreeing with everything Brolin said was the best thing to do. I'm not blaming him. I want to make that clear. Brolin going nutty enough to say "happy 9/11!" was his own fault. He's an alleged adult. Since Chaz and complicitly AJ confronted this jackass, they did the right thing. They didn't care he was an actor who might somehow make them money. They heard something grotesque and challenged the moron who said it.
Another one is Sean Penn. He suffers from an advanced form of Bobbleheadus Deterioratus named Bobbleheadus Deterioratus Notcomingbackus. There is no cure for this version of the disease. In Sean Penn's world, Cuba is the United States. A nation led by a great, freedom-loving government. He isn't the only one who suffers from this variation of the disease and believes Cuba is great and Castro is the most glorious leader in the world. There is Chevy Chase, Steven Spielberg, Kevin Spacey, and Danny Glover. They think Castro is a beacon for the world to how things should be. Perhaps they even think Castro is that guy from the Dos Equis commercials they label as the "most interesting man in the world". With this advanced condition, it allows Penn to think of a self-absorbed media and propoganda ploy as a "fact finding mission". There is no help for this man.
Don't worry, I have already submitted this disease to Merriam-Webster's Online Dictionary. I want the credit, but you are most welcome to use it. This isn't the first time I've submitted a word to MW. Read "Salad Is Murder" and you'll see another one I submitted. Interesting read, not to self-promote. Hell, I'm self-promoting. It's my blog right? Stay thirsty my friends.
